> If Do Kwon was American, he would be the sort that would support utter trash like RAGE (Retire All Government Employees). People like him and their mind viruses are destructive to proper civil society.
Wait... So if he had pulled the exact same scam while longing for more government employees and a bigger part of the public sector in countries' GDP, then he'd be worthy of police protection?
So basically the government should protect people depending whether or not they're pro-government?
I want to see that scammer rot in jail but there's no reason, if he go death threat, that public mob lynching is suddenly okay because he's not a leftist.
Calling for government help when things get real, while loudly and publicly stating the government is useless and should be disbanded / retired when times are good is a bad look.
Asking someone to stick to their principles or accept they were wrong earlier may not be very kind in this case, but expecting someone to die by the sword they lived by hardly sounds wrong.
I'll agree this shouldn't happen in a civil society, but I also wish people were smart enough to recognize that government and rule of law are a prerequisite for civil society.
What everybody says, and repeatedly gets ignored, is the irony that his plea for protection is directed exactly at those he dislikes. It's about him acting in contradiction to his own principles, not about him getting or not protection. It's about his character. That's all. Even asshats deserve police protection, agreed, but that doesn't make them any more likeable and likeability was the topic here.
